Have fun with friends and family with World's Greatest Shave 2007

Tips and ideas

Get your workmates involvedThere are many ways you can get involved in the World's Greatest Shave.

Involve your friends and family

  • Put a price on your head and encourage your friends and family to sponsor you.
  • E-mail your friends, family, workmates and neighbours to tell them about your shave.
  • Make it an event by holding a barbeque or lunch and auction the pleasure of shaving your head.
  • Take 'before' and 'after' photos and e-mail them to friends.

Involve your business and workmates

  • Challenge other stores, state offices or departments.
  • Put a price on your Chief Executive's head and encourage your business to match it.
  • Send a personalised e-mail from My Shave Page to ask for support.
  • Ask for on-line donations from your offices interstate or overseas. Use the e-mail facility on My Shave Page to send them all the details they need.
  • Create your own poster with a 'before' photo.
  • Stage your shave on Friday lunchtime or during after-work drinks.
  • Hold a shave event in a meeting room, staff room, pub, hotel, board-room or outside.
  • Stage an event in a nearby open-air venue with a sausage sizzle and drinks.
  • Hold a ‘shave or save’ campaign where you are sponsored to either keep or lose your hair – sponsors decide!
  • If everyone is wearing the colours in their hair, it may be a good idea to have a colouring breakfast to start off the day.

Involve your school

  • Encourage your teachers, principal or school captains to shave or colour during a special assembly.
  • Set a target for your whole school. For example, raise $200 and one teacher shaves, raise $500 and all the teachers shave, raise $1,000 and the principal shaves too! The amounts are up to you!
  • Go colour crazy by holding a Crazy Hair Day. Charge a donation for joining in.
  • Provide a lucky dip, raffles, rewards or incentives for those who participate or raise the most money
  • Hold a ‘Crazy Chin’ Day – pay $2 each to wear a pair of eyes on your chin and mimick our chin characters.

For the day

  • Organise helpers and hairdressers in plenty of time.
  • Consider having helpers assist with setting up, guiding participants, or acting as a Master of Ceremonies.
  • Remember clippers, disinfectant for clippers, colour spray or wax, brooms, garbage bags, mirrors, extension cables for clippers, chairs, posters and signs.
  • Don't forget to take 'before' and 'after' photos!
